Apuleius is a thaumaturge against whom the faithful need to be warned.

That sort of spell is so terrible that aside from Dr. Johannès no thaumaturge in France dare try to cure it.

Such a performance fairly earned for him his surname of Thaumaturge, but this prodigious zeal has fallen off greatly.
